The tires in my pic are original AMT. I have copies of them in resin from Modelhaus. I'm not sure if R&M has them. The first and only kit I've ever seen them in was the Willys/32 Sedan kit mentioned in the other thread. I never had the Willys as a single kit, so I don't know if the tires were in that.

They were also in the original issues of the '55 Nomad and '56 Ford Victoria.  Modelhaus sold them as their T110.  I wasn't aware of R&M copying them.

One could sure hope they would re-release theses Firestone fronts!

Are these the smaller pair of tires included in the older AMT Custom - Competition Wheels & Tires set, like so?:

Thanks, Don. Those should be easy to find.

... and yet , Revell-Monogram still makes kits with tyres with  no sidewall marques (excepting the M&Ts in the Hemi Dart , and the Firestone Drag 500s in the S&M Pro Stock Barracuda ) .

*Had to open that  can of worms !

I think those are correct for the Bullitt Charger

I wonder if the 'street' tyres are comparable-in-size to , say , a 205 70 14 ? Or , are they skinny like the ca.2011-issue 'stones ?

Also good if you want to build "Jill":

Although per the script, they're Goodyear E78-14s, but good luck finding those in 1/25.

Here they are on a new project I'm building for the TRaK Autorama...

Looks like the "Wild" wheels are the 5-spoks from the MPC '67 Charger? Hard to tell, and there's no larger image available:

I think they are both AMT.  Both have the square inner edge not the tapered edge of the Orange Crate Revell front.

Here is the Revell tire (left) and AMT tire side by side. Identical except for size. Plus Im pretty sure AMT only made that tire in one size.

I'd be all in for multiple multiples of this set! Even at today's MSRP.

The wheels are actually fairly easy to find. AMT/Ertl reissued them at least once along with a competition chassis. If memory serves correctly, they were reissued at least one more time since then. But I could be wrong on that. The real story in the pictured 69 cent parts pack are the tires. Especially the front runners. They weren't available very long and aren't real easy to find. But they make excellent front rubber for vintage hot rods and drag cars. See earlier in this thread, and they are on the coupe below.

Really looking forward to these. I’m assuming that they are bigger diameter  than the previous version? The others were slightly small for a couple of early 70’s cars I wanted to use them on.

Not sure on the O.D., but I believe they are the same slicks which are included with the Bill Grumpy Jenkins Pro Stock Vega reissue:
